ABOUT MICHAEL
Michael was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. He spent most of his
youth studying jazz music and attended North Texas State University
on a scholarship. He played lead trumpet with Stan Kenton's 1979 Tour
and appeared with Woody Herman and his Thundering Heard. After a
car accident left him unable to play, Michael re-directed his creativity into
acting.
As a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation
of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), Michael has worked alongside a
number of famous names: Robert Duval, Gene Hackman, Renee
Russo, Denzel Washington, Kevin Costner, Halle Berry, John
Travolta, Kurt Russell and many others. His 26-year acting career spans
numerous film and television productions. Michael studied for seven years
under the personal direction of famed acting coach Milton Katselas. Under
Mr. Katselas' watchful eye, Michael was trained in intensive scene-study
classes as an actor and as a director.
On the small screen, Michael starred in the series Something So Right,
landed the leads in two television movies The Princess And The Marine
and A Loss Of Innocence and recurred on 3rd Rock From The Sun as
the high school gym coach. He has also made a number of guest starring
appearances in series including That 70's Show, X-Files, Arli$$, The
Drew Carey Show, Home Improvement, Seinfeld, Murphy Brown,
Two Guys And A Girl, and 7th Heaven, where he played the father of a
child with Tourette's Syndrome.
An avid golfer, Michael is most recognizable for his role as Boone in Tin Cup
with Kevin Costner. Additional big screen credits include Pearl Harbor,
Collateral Damage, Anywhere But Here, Crimson Tide, Executive
Decision, Phenomenon, Dreamweaver as James Spader's lawyer, and as
Chicago White Sox third baseman Buck Weaver in Field Of Dreams.
When not working Michael spends every free moment playing golf. He is a
scratch player, and a professional long driving champion and can knock it 400
yards off the tee. He lives in Florida.
